I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving, Black Friday & Christmas decorating weekend! The day after Thanksgiving is one of the most fun days of the year... even if you don't leave your house... there is just magic in the air! We loved our long weekend at home together.. fun was had & antlers were worn! :)
I cannot get over this little grin of hers!
Friday we did a little Black Friday shopping... kicking off the early morning in our festive, comfy clothes at Target. It was anything but a mad rush... felt more like a standard Saturday morning shopping trip. We were totally okay with that! :) We hit up Original Pancake House for breakfast, stopped by the mall to scoop up a few more deals & then headed back home for a nap!
My scarf is actually from American Eagle a few years ago, but here is a similar one...
Striped Infinity Scarf
. Other similar scarves can be found here & here. Harper's are Elegant Baby brand, but can't find them online anywhere.

We spent the rest of the weekend decking the halls!
I discovered that I am definitely an a-hole when it comes to packing away last year's lights. I spent at least half an hour sitting Indian style on the entryway floor with a wad of tangled lights, cursing my last-year-self for apparently just ripping them off the tree & shoving them in a box. Between that mess & countless breaks to feast on Thanksgiving leftovers, decorating took much longer than expected. I can't wait to share pictures this week once it is all finished, but right now, I'm loving the messy colored lights strung around my Chalkboard.
I would literally string Christmas lights around the ceiling fans in our house if I could get away with it. Griswold style all day long.

In our home we decorate for Christmas on Nov One since Thanksgiving is in October in Canada! Now that I live in the States I still can't wait an extra month to break out the lights! (Even though my husband thinks I'm crazy!) I am just loving Christmas with our little one this year it makes everything sooo much better!

I absolutely LOVE your chalkboard post with the antlers and Harper! Too cute! I too was cursing my last year self for throwing all the ornament hooks into a bag which left me a tangled messy ball of hooks. Added at least thirty minutes to my ornament hanging. HA! ������
ReplyDeleteLove love love the antler pictures!! I have no idea how you got her to stay in one place but its just too cute.
ReplyDeleteReally hope you will be putting the merry and bright chalkboard up on your etsy shop. I so want it.
I will be! Hopefully soon! :) Thank you!
DeleteGriswold-style lighting is decorating @ its finest! lol
ReplyDeleteI bought my "candy cane" striped infinity scarf from Etsy! I love everything candy cane, sugarplum, nutcracker, and gingerbread....and every other Christmas theme!
It's the most wonderful time of the year!!!
Cheers to Harpie's 1st Christmas! She's going to love having a momma that loves Christmas decorating(and holiday-loving in general)!
Right? I would string christmas lights in our bathroom if hubs would let me! He wants things "classy" whatever that means.
